Simple:

C#

Timespan diff = dateTimeEnd - dateTimeStart;
string timeTaken = string.Format("{0} hours and {1} minutes", diff.Hours + diff.Days * 24, diff.Minutes);

i done it c# Windows form application i hope this will helpful for you

/* When click on start button */
DateTime from = DateTime.Now;

/* when click on end button */
DateTime to = DateTime.Now;

/* total time */
TimeSpan total = to - from ;

string totalime = to.ToString("t");

/* In seconds  */
string totaltime = total.TotalSeconds.ToString();

If you want in minutes or hours there is different methods like totalminutes etc

DateTime exmStTym = Convert.ToDateTime(Session["ExmStartTym"]);
DateTime exmEndTym = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan timeTkn = exmEndTym.Subtract(exmStTym);

Solution 2

Get the Start time at beginning of exam:

eg:

C#

TimeSpan examStartTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay();

When the End button is clicked, get the current time again:

eg:

C#

TimeSpan examEndTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay();

Then use TimeSpan to work out the difference by substracting the start time from the end time:

eg:

C#

TimeSpan duration = examEndTime.Subtract(examStartTime);

i tried the above code
Datetime examStartTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay(); it gives compile time error "cannot convert Timespan to Datetime". then i modified the code for explicit conversion
ExmStartTym = Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay); then it throws exception.
Unable to cast object of type 'System.TimeSpan' to type 'System.IConvertible'.

My fault. TimeOfDay() returns a TimeSpan so just declare it as one instead of DateTime. Will edit answer to reflect that.
